Blue Toothbrush


Her forgotten toothbrush, left behind
sat on the shelf by my bathroom sink.
I contemplated its blue handle as I brushed my teeth
and realized that I was just as blue and just as forgotten,
but
even
more
useless.

    Reminds me of something I wrote in the early 1990's called "An Unwanted Flower ~ a weed in the garden of life." I wonder where that 'weed' is now?

    I am not familiar with the poem, but would be interested in reading it. Do you have a link to it?
